Classic Book Club This Sunday, Feb. 13th!

Here's just a partial sampling of what's in store tomorrow at our Classic Book Club meeting!  We'll be discussing Little Women and creating two 6x6 pages depicting life in the mid 1800's.  We've even found paper dolls dressed in the period to tuck inside the pockets.  Lot's of fun scrapbooking and lively discussion are in store for us starting at 1 o'clock on Sunday.  The next book on our reading list for the March 13th meeting is The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde. 

Twisted Easel Card

Using a classic Somerset stamp that I can't bear to let go of, I created this twisted easel card with Making Memories papers.  The sweet little adore word is actually part of a larger Memory Box stamp and I just punched the area out I needed.  Sizzix flourishes, Prima flowers and lace complete the vintage romantic feel.  Complete directions are on the left sidebar under Tutorials.  Card size is 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 inches.  Give it a try!  If you're really feeling creative, why not join me on Paper Craft Planet for our first 4-Group Challenge Throwdown!
